How do you restart the ibus?
ibus needs the $DISPLAY and the dbus session so it would not work if you used ssh.
Also it would be good to update ibus.
# yum install ibus

right-click on the ibus icon on the top right (in the "sys notification" area?)
in gnome 3 fallback mode. There is an option there. So that should have $DISPLAY and dbus session?

I keep my system fairly up to date... yum -y upgrade a few times a week.

Yes, right.

OK, I cannot reproduce your problem.
Do you still see your problem?

How about running the following script?

% cat a.py

import ibus
print ibus.common.get_address()

% ps -ef | grep ibus-daemon
% python a.py

$ cat > a.py
import ibus
print ibus.common.get_address()

Hmm.., it seems ibus.common.get_address() can get the address but when you restart ibus-daemon, ibus.common.get_address() failed to get it from your back trace.

Do you still see your problem?

Do you see the same error when you run ibus-daemon by manual?

1. Right click on the ibus panel status icon and choose "Quit".
2. Run ibus-daemon on your terminal.
% ibus-daemon -r --xim --verbose
3. Right click on the ibus panel status icon and choose "Restart".

Are you still able to reproduce your problem?

Comment 7 Hin-Tak Leung 2012-01-01 00:14:01 UTC

Sorry for not responding - it would appeared that I got the reminder the few days before upgrading to f16, and it got put away. Anway, ibus seems to be working alright now on f16.
